This would cause a bit noisy logging. If the file doesn't exist I'd rather not log anything (or specifically log that the file doesn't exist).

Shouldn't this also mark the interface as stale (as below on line 1845-1847) and set self.interface_hash to something unmatchable? Otherwise I worry we could still repro the same issues by adding another chain to the reference link.

Yes, you are right. I even have found a longer crasher with four files that still happens unless interface is marked as stale (I added it to the tests). Do we also need to set the interface_hash to something? It looks like it is not necessary.
It looks like marking files with errors as stale breaks several tests. I will check if this can be fixed somehow.

Hm, there is an explicit comment in tests:
Note that a file that ends up producing an error does not create
a new cache file and so is not considered stale.
Should I just mark them as stale now and update this comment?

Yeah, I think the comment just reflects the state of the world at the time (i.e. that no cache file was written).
I presume this only affects some of the tests and not all tests with a [stale] marker?
Alternatively you could have a flag to mark_interface_stale() to skip adding the module to stale_modules since that is used purely by the tests. (The other two things it sets are used for the graph algorithm too.)

It affects 42 tests, i.e. around one third of all tests with [stale].

OK, I did this. Now all tests should pass. By the way, what do you think about potential performance issues because of this change? Intuitively it should be minor (since it only affects situations where new errors appear after previous incremental runs), but maybe you could measure it somehow?

This is a simple-minded solution for inconsistent cache state problem discovered in #4043.
